Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for removing carpets when they are produced, when they come out of the final processing equipment after the production process, or when they are removed from a large storage port in a warehouse or the like. The present invention relates to a carpet winding device that can be used to form rolls as supplied.

Traditionally, the edge of a single piece of carpet? It has been common practice to manually wind the fU to form a first turn and support it on two or more rollers, after which the rollers are rotated to complete the winding operation. This process had two basic drawbacks. In Japan, carpets are often produced and handled in widths of 3 meters or more, and therefore carpets are often produced and handled in widths of 3 meters or more, and therefore carpets are often produced and handled in widths of 3 meters or more, and therefore carpets are often produced and handled in widths of 3 meters or more; Making it by hand without using a plastic bag requires three workers and considerable skill. If this operation is performed improperly, the resulting roll may become wrinkled or ungainly, causing damage and damage to the carpet. In automobiles, the rollers used are usually of the type with spaced annular gripping means similar to car tires, which can sometimes damage car vent surfaces or fragile backings such as foamed plastic materials. That's true. A further disadvantage of such devices is that the carpet cannot be oriented in a particular way, i.e.
Depending on whether the pile is supplied with the pile facing upward or downward.
Carpets can only be rolled with the pile side in or out. Whatever the initial orientation of the carpet, the winding equipment takes into account the properties of the pile and backing. It is desirable to be able to intentionally form a roll with the pie/L side facing inside or a roll with the pile side facing outside so as to be able to choose a convenient winding format. Many proposals have been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, such as the US patent “A-3,g!;0,3gl
The carpet support rollers are coupled to the rollers and act together with the carpet support rollers. A carpet winding device has been proposed that is capable of i=J' whether the carpet is wound on the front side or on the back side by providing a guide band with a J% characteristic and changing the rotating direction of the supporting rollers accordingly. If a roll with the pile side on the outside is to be formed, the rollers S are conveyed as a whole from a distance to the q support rollers. The roll of carpet is formed between the nip of the support rollers, the upper two of them moving further away from the lower pair of rollers as the roll of carpet grows larger. Also, as the roll of carpet becomes larger, the entire roll of carpet moves slowly along with the roller of spear S over the upper roller pair. Since the support roller has an annular gripping means, the above-mentioned introductory point that there is an 'OJ' ability to damage the carpet surface or sensitive backing remains.

In the United States Patent No. θ02.30 g, a roll of carpet is formed in a nip between a pair of lower fixed shaft rollers and a pair of moving shaft rollers; , as the roll of carpet grows, it moves away as a whole.A roll with the pile side inside or outside can be obtained by controlling the direction of rotation of the roller1, thus the above-mentioned Even in p+l of the U.S. patent, Karbent's first -
The wrap is formed between two nogs of q rollers, and as the roll of carpet becomes larger, control means must be provided to move two of the rollers as a whole. Again, the possibility of +Na on the carpet surface or fragile backing exists.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to use only a pair of rollers 7, which in the nip between them can form either the front or back wrap of the carpet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a carpet winding device having a simple means of orienting the ends of a carpet strip in an orientation that forms a carpet roll for forming a wrap or back roll.

Accordingly, the present invention defines a support nip and includes a pair of rotatably driven roll support rollers disposed in such a way that a roll of carpet can be formed at -F2, and a pair of roll support rollers disposed between the rollers [6].
